1. A vehicle turning motion control apparatus for a vehicle comprising:

  • a brake actuator configured to produce a braking force;

    a turning condition sensor configured to sense a turning condition of the vehicle;

    an accelerator operation quantity sensor configured to sense an accelerator operation quantity of a driver; and

    a controller configured, to start a decelerating control to produce the braking force with the brake actuator when the turning condition surpasses a deceleration start threshold which is set to start the deceleration control before a turning performance limit of the vehicle is reached, to vary the deceleration start threshold from a normal value toward the turning performance limit when the accelerator operation quantity increases, and to start a preload control to produce a preload before the deceleration control when the turning condition surpasses a preload start threshold which is set to the normal value even if the accelerator operation quantity increases.
